(Sethu and Linalo are in Cape Town, and they are walking around waterfront.)

Linalo: (Smiling.) Baby, did I ever tell you how much I love you?

Sethu: You do not have to tell me, baby, your actions have proven everything to me.

Linalo: You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Sethu: And I will climb every mountain and swim every ocean, just to be with you. I will fix everything I have broken because I want to make you see that you are the reason I am always so happy.

Linalo: And ‘my mind dey for you, my heart beats for you, every time when I think of you, I don’t know, I feel loved again’ … (She starts to mumble the song.)

Sethu: Okay baby, stop it now. Go and learn the lyrics of the song.

Linalo: (Laughs.) As if you know them. Do not make yourself sound better. Okay baby, I am hungry now, so let us go and eat.

Sethu: Do not worry about that, I have got everything covered.

Linalo: But baby, I am hungry now.

Sethu: Relax Nalo, relax. Teach your stomach to wait.

Linalo: Okay, okay. I will wait, then.

Sethu: Do you know that Luther Vandross song, “I’d Rather”?

Linalo: I do not listen to Luther Vandross.

Sethu: (Starts singing.)
I thought sometime alone,
Was what we really needed,
You said this time would hurt more than it helps,
But I couldn’t see that,
I thought it was the end,
Of a beautiful story,
And so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone),
And I tried to find,
Out if this one thing is true,
That I’m nothing without you,
I know better now,
And I’ve had a change of heart.

I’d rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else,
I’d rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself,
I’d rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart,
I’d rather have the one who holds my heart,
Whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah.

And then I met someone,
And thought she could replace you,
We got along just fine,
We wasted time because she was not you,
We had a lot of fun,
Though we knew we were faking,
Love was not impressed with our connection built on lies, all lies,
So I’m here cause I found this one thing is true,
That I’m nothing without you,
I know better now,
And I’ve had a change of heart.

I’d rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else,
I’d rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself,
I’d rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart,
I’d rather have the one who holds my heart,
Who holds my heart.

I can’t blame you if you turn away from me, like I’ve done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
Please be mine.

I’d rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
Than good times with someone else (I know),
I’d rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
Than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby),
I’d rather have hard times together,
Than to have it easy apart,
I’d rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart).

I’d rather have bad times with you (surely),
Than good times with someone else (surely),
I’d rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah),
Than safe and warm by myself (all by myself),
I’d rather have hard times together,
Than to have it easy apart (you know it),
I’d rather have the one who holds my heart.

I’d rather have the one who holds my heart,
I’d rather have the one who holds my heart,
Whoooo … who holds my heart.

Linalo: Oh baby, it is a nice song, hey. I should listen to it too. Thank you for being you for me. I love you so much, Mdlane wam.

Sethu: I will always be with you, through the bad and the good, baby. You will always be my forever.

(It is later that day, and Linalo is preparing to sleep, but before that, he calls Sethu.)

Linalo: I had a great time today, baby. Thank you for the meal, it was great. And baby, I cannot get over the song you sang for me. It was a great one, hey. I even downloaded it … it is the song I will always remember you with.

Sethu: Do you know that one by Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey, “Endless Love”?

Linalo: Ow, that is one of my favourite songs, baby. I love it.

Sethu: Let us do a video call, baby, then we will sing it together.

Linalo: Okay. (They both do a video call.)

Sethu:
My love, there’s only you in my life;
The only thing that’s right.

Linalo:
My first love, you’re every breath that I take;
You’re every step I make.

Both:
And I (and I);
I want to share, all my love with you (hey you);
No one else will do, you know it;
And your eyes (your eyes, your eyes);
They tell me how much you care;
Oh, yes, you will always be my endless love;

Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one;
Our lives have just begun.
And forever (forever);
I’ll hold you close in my arms;
I can’t resist your charms.
And love (and love);
I’ll be a fool for you;
(Honey I’m sure);
I’m sure you know I don’t mind;
(Oh you know I don’t mind, baby baby baby baby).
‘Cuz baby you, you mean the world to me;
Oh, I know I found in you, my endless love.

Oh and love, I’ll be that fool for you (for you baby);
I’m sure (I’m so sure);
That you know I don’t mind;
(I don’t mind, I don’t mind).
And yes, you’ll be the only one;
‘Cuz no one, no one can deny;
This love I have inside;
And I’ll give it all to you.

My love;
My love, my love;
My, my, my;
My endless love.

Tell us: Do you think Linalo will ever find out about Sethu and Nelly’s relationship?
